Painting with Bleach

Even though I haven’t used my Summer by the Sea set as much as I thought I would, I am sad to see it made the retired list this time around. So I wanted to make a quick card (translation: no watercoloring) with it before it goes, and Jen del Muro latest SFYTT sketch fit the large image perfectly.

I stamped the girl with VersaMark ink on Pale Plum card stock and embossed with black detail powder. Then I “colored” in the image with bleach and a watercolor brush, which removed the color from the card stock. After it dried, I matted with Basic Black card stock.

The patterned papers are from the Parisian Summer DSP package, and the black brads are part of the Vintage Brads collection.
